Hello all! So this is my first time using LinuxFromScratch and so far I am actually having a lot of fun and I have learn't a lot! So I have been following tutorials as well as the official LFS instructions but I am stuck on "Chapter 5. Constructing a Temporary System".

Everytime I run "make" it fails and I am not really sure why. I have done the required steps but maybe I did something wrong? I am not sure... Anyway, if anyone with some experience could maybe help me out, I would really appreciate it!

My config.log:

Thanks and good day!

post the output of the version check script, don't stray from the LFS book!

It looks like your missing some basic software needed..


go to the following and run the script.

One issue to be sure to check is that bash is linked to /bin/sh. When I built LFS first time I was going crazy finding out why it wasn't building and further investigation was that the host bash didn't link to /bin/sh

Hey guys! I listened to some of your potential solutions but it unfortunately did not work.

My bash version test:

Current config.log (updated since the last make attempt):

Your bash is located /bin/bash for LFS it is supposed to be /bin/sh. not sure if that is your problem.

So.. I have reset everything and restarted, doing everything by the book and I am still having the same issue!

I think u have this about face, bash should be at '/bin/bash' '/bin/sh' should be a symlink to '/bin/bash'

Yes Keith you're correct

Wich LFS Book you using?

Do you have texinfo installed? Not sure that be the reason for error but looks like texinfo is not installed on your host. On Ubuntu you have to go to software and check the boxes. Then sudo apt-get install texinfo..

As in I am following everything from the stable guide at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable
